Pa. man in court on charges he videoed burning boy

SAXONBURG, Pa. (AP)  A western Pennsylvania man is due in court to faces charges that he threw nail polish on his girlfriend's 7-year-old son then recorded the incident after the boy was set on fire.

The defense attorney for 36-year-old Edward Myers, of Saxonburg, says he has no comment on aggravated assault and other charges Myers faces in the May 25 incident.

Police say Myers threw nail polish on the boy then did nothing to help him after he was set on fire, either by Myers himself or other boys at the home in Saxonburg, about 30 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.

Police say the boy suffered third-degree burns on his face and chest and had welts on his forehead from being shot with a plastic pellet gun. Myers' 15-year-old son is also facing juvenile charges in the incident.
